Bela lamp,
by Doshi Levien
Bela is a colorful and versatile lamp with a continuous length of
rope in a form referencing the texture and lightness of traditional
handwoven lanterns. Every year in India there is a kite festival
and the streets are lined with enormous spinning frames wound
with colourful kite string. These light wooden structures gave
Doshi Levien the idea for the frames or spools onto which the
Bela ropes are clipped. It can be placed directly on the floor,
suspended or used as a standing lamp.
